What We Think

In a Track Drive review of the 2019 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth, we loved how the extra kick from Sport mode made the 124 even more fun to drive. Equipped with the optional Record Monza exhaust, the engine sounded “majestic” at idle and like an “aggressive howl” when driven. On the autocross course, the 124 showed off its minimal body roll and the steering’s responsiveness. The six-speed manual transmission has light effort, and the clutch is easy to engage. When pushing the 124 Spider Abarth, it “begs you to try harder and explore your capabilities and limits.” We concluded by saying, “…it’s a genuinely built sports car that succeeds in being both fun and affordable.”

In a six-way performance car shootout, the 124 Spider drove away victorious. “In this group, the Fiat 124 Abarth had the least powerful engine, but it was also the king of back-road perma-grin,” we said. The Fiat was able to keep up with more powerful cars on back roads because it earns the driver’s trust. The Fiat’s “prodigious grip, indefatigable brakes, flawless chassis balance, quick steering, and precise shifter” made us smile for days. But under normal driving, the engine can be laggy and doesn’t sound that good. There is also very little headroom. “Flawed though the single-cam, port-injected Fiat engine is, it’s bolted inside a chassis incredible enough that as a whole sports car, it beat some very serious competitors,” we added.
